• no irritating remarks/moments
• a slice of cake
• the feeling of true gratitude
• I want my revenge- but never mind
• a long, good night sleep
• some nice words to convince me that paying the price of being a grown-up is worth it

Post-birthday comments:

• I didn't bother to get myself some cake again.
• At least I saved myself from getting irritated because I'm on leave that day
• I want more grilled beef.
